Surface praised
Mowbray’s new $10 million StrathAyr racing surface received rave reports from all quarters.
Chairman of stewards Wade Hadley reported that his panel had experienced a very quiet day. “The track was sensational – there was hardly a mark on it”, he said
The track was given its first test with 18mm of overnight rain on Saturday but racecourse manager Murray Pyke found no need to downgrade its rating.
Kranji Racetrack, Singapore
The StrathAyr Track at Kranji has been providing safe, all weather racing since 1999. The StrathAyr technology was selected following extensive trials comparing various drainage and growing medium concepts.
Singapore’s StrathAyr Track now boasts a heavy racing program of 69 race meetings per annum. Despite rainfall prior to and during meetings frequently exceeding 100mm (4 inches) and on occasions exceeding 200mm (8 inches) there has never been a race cancellation.
Singapore Turf Club maintains extensive records on break down rates and since the construction of the new Kranji course proper their injury rates have dramatically reduced.
Moonee Valley Racetrack, Australia
The Moonee Valley Racing Club conducted its first meeting on the StrathAyr Track in 1995. The StrathAyr technology was selected following extensive trials comparing various growing medium concepts.
Today the Moonee Valley StrathAyr Track is racing better then ever.
